To commemorate the release of the.trilogy at theory11 in mid-October, we thought it'd be about time for a damn good video contest-- with a slight spin. We've already done some of the work for you. Here's the dizzle, for shizzle:

We grabbed two of the best (objectively... in our opinion) soundtracks from the "what is theory11" teaser videos: the soundtrack to our artist teaser video, and the soundtrack to Wayne Houchin's. The links to these two MP3's in extremely high quality are below. You can download them now. So what's the challenge? Show us your stuff. Pick whichever track you dig the best, and then create a video showcasing your cardistry and flourishing skills. The videos must utilize one of the two tracks provided, and then be submitted in Quicktime (preferred) format to the theory11 media section.

The submissions must be in by October 17th, 2007 at 11:00pm EST, and all valid (good quality) submissions will be posted and featured in the media section in a special category. After the deadline, the theory11 artists will all convene and select a winner based on THREE factors: technical skill, creativity, and overall entertainment value. The top three winners will be posted one week after the deadline in the forums, and... oh yes... there's a prize. And by "a" prize-- I mean THREE prize levels.

1st Place Prize :x The FIRST Second-Edition DVD Set of Trilogy off the press, signed by dan&davex 1 Deck of Jerry's Nuggets signed by dan&dave utilized in production of the Trilogyx 1 Deck of Second Edition Bicycle Guardians signed by dan&dave x Video featured on the 'Official Videos" category of the Media Section for all to seex Video included in the Trilogy BONUS disc to be produced in early 2008

All prizes will be sent within 2 weeks of the public announcement of winners, and all winners will be contacted by the theory11 crew to claim their rewards. You've got about 2 weeks to film and edit your masterpiece. What are you waiting for? Get crankin'.

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. We've already had some pretty crazy flourishing videos show up in the media section, so I'm gonna guess that this will be a very interesting competition. Good luck to everyone who enters. And also, props for putting yourself out there. That's not an easy thing to do.
